Other Projects by 过半儿 guò bàn er
House M006
Beijing, China
urvilinear Courtyard Home - A family of three enjoys life centered around a courtyard garden.
Located around 35 km northeast of Beijing's city center in the district of Shunyi, this house is the latest addition to a network of homes in a new neighborhood known as the "About 100 Project," initiated by 过半儿guò bàn er. This initiative aims to cultivate a community where neighbors support one another, fostering a unique lifestyle and offering an innovative way of living in Beijing.
An existing 180-square-meter main house and two 45-square-meter side wings, typical of the rural fringes of Beijing, occupied the plot, leaving 170 sqm of outdoor garden area. The architects added 60 square meters of building area to connect the main house with the two detached side wings.
The building features a unique curved roofline with a planter box running along its entire length. The design emphasizes clean lines and a simple color palette. At the heart of the building is a central courtyard that serves as the primary space for organization and movement, facilitating the flow of light and air throughout the structure. The large floor-to-ceiling windows create a seamless connection between the interior and the garden, allowing plenty of natural light. The layout creates an open living space, making the outdoor landscape feel like part of the home. The fair-faced concrete outdoor kitchen and fireplace set the scene for social gatherings and barbecues. "We wanted to create a simple place for fire, where people gather and cook," says Christian Taeubert, Co-founder of 过半儿 guò bàn er. The boulder serves as a natural element, contrasting sharply with the concrete planes of the outdoor kitchen structure.
The interior volume of the home is characterized by a high degree of spatial continuity. It extends the clean aesthetic established by the exterior architecture, focusing on spaciousness and visual clarity. The open-plan format seamlessly merges the kitchen, dining, and living functions into a singular, flowing space. Operable white sheer curtains offer flexibility in modulating light and privacy. A raised wooden platform in the living room, topped with traditional tatami mats, defines a distinct area for tea ceremonies or relaxation.
All three bedrooms face the courtyard garden. A main bedroom with an en suite bathroom is situated next to a spa area and gym. The dedicated spa area emphasizes the focus on curated living. It features a built-in low-soak pool and a plunge bath made of speckled gray and pink granite, with large windows with sheer curtains that open to the courtyard, creating a calm, spa atmosphere. The gym is positioned along the courtyard. The full-height windows offer a framed view of the central yard. This connection integrates the exercise experience with the courtyard's natural light and garden environment.
The transformation of the existing nondescript dwelling into a contemporary bungalow redefines adaptive reuse at the city's fringes. "By rethinking the centrality of these urban peripheral zones, our revitalization projects are driving social change on a family level," says Christian Taeubert, Co-founder of 过半儿 guò bàn er. The project's success has inspired a new lifestyle for those who were facing high rent for relatively low-quality living space in Beijing," said Sammy (Sun Min), founder of 过半儿 guò bàn er.
